Nutrient requirements of Amazonian tree crops - consequences for agroforestry use and management.

We studied soil fertility and plant nutrition in multi-strata agroforestry systems with several perennial crop species at four fertilization levels to obtain information on growth-limiting nutrients and to develop optimum sampling schemes for foliar analysis for the different species: peach palm (pupunha), cupuaçu, Brazil nut (castanha-do-Pará), annatto (urucu) and the cover crop Pueraria phaseoloides.
